Gibson obtained divorce and then the woman proposed that Laws marry her, which he refused Believing that she would eventually capture him, the Gibson woman still continued to provide him with home, until one night he decamped, taking team of horses and what loose valuables the wo- man possessed. He drove the team into Webster county, where he ran short ot funds, and, to replace his purse, robbed smoke house of a quantity of meat, which he dis posed of at Seymour. He was captured af- ter desperate struggle, in winch ne wound- ed two deputy sheriffs and was lodged in

Exploits of Ike Laws, B Daredevil
 Member of the Franklin Gang.

Member of the Franklin Gang.
 From St. Joseph Cdo) Special.l
 During the past year the farmers of north- western Missouri and southern Iowa have suffered greatly from the depredations of 8 gang of horse-thieves under the leadership of the notorious Franklin brothers-Con and Buck-whose reputation bids fair to excel that of the James boys. Nearly three hun- dred animals have been taken inside a very short time by this party, of which probably twenty were recovered. In the entire gang perhaps no member can boast of more hair- breadth escapes and romantic adventures than Isaac N. Laws, who occupies very i'm portant position with the crowd-a sort of lieutenant as it were. Laws was born in Chester county, Pa., and came to Missouri when only twelve years of age with his pa rents, who settled in Neosho. The first event in his career which brought him into prominence was the stealing of a pair of horses in Newton county. which he drove return he was apprehended and incarcerated in jail. Sheriff Knott, his jailer, had an only daughter, Clara, who usually served the prisoners meals. An attachment was formed between her and Laws, which result ed in her liberating and fleeing with him into M1Ss1ss1pp1, where they were married. They lived in Vicksburg for one year and then came back to Neosho. They had only spent a couple of weeks in this place when Laws became involved in 8 difficulty with his fath- CT, which culminated in his shooting the old man in the back with 8 doubls-barrelled shotgun. from the effects of which he died in a few days. Through some legal techni- cality Laws escaped the gallows and was sen fenced to ten years in the penitentiary. By reason of extraordinary good behavior he was released at the expiration of his sixth year, Waller Young, State Senator from the St. Joseph district, being instrumental in ob- taining his discharge. He returned to Neo- sho, bat remained there but short time, af- terwards going to Iowa, where he became of the Franklin gang. During the next two years he was actively engaged in stealing horses, and at one time narrowly es- capped lynching at the hands of vigilance committee in Holt county, Mo-, being re- leased by the intervention of local member of the gang, whose identification with them was not known at the time, and who said that he was not the man they were looking for. He then cams to St. Joseph and ob- tained employment as scene-shifter at Too ties Opera House, but the situation becom- ing irksome he forsook it. While at Tootle's he formed the acquaintance of 6 married woman named Gibson, who was possessed of

Court Notes.

The case of Chillingworth vs Sanford has been settled. The plaintiff Felix Chillingworth, receiver of the Sweetiand Chuck company, brought suit against Edison Sanford of Meriden, formerly of New Haven, setting forth that the defendant owed the Sweetland Chuck company somewhere from $4 900 to S6oOO for stock which he had subscribed for but which had never been taken.
 The defendant some six months ago brought counter-suit against Chingworth, alleging that he had induced him to subscribe for the stock then in controversy by fraudulent representations and set ting forth that he had taken such stock solely upon Chillingworth's statements that President Sweet land of the Chuck company owned the patents in the company, when as matter of fact Chilling worth himself owned the patents.
 In this counter-suit it also alleged that Chil lingworth obtained the appointment of receiver of the Sweetland company by making fraudulent rep resentations to the Superior court. MT. Chilling worth entered demurrer by his counsel, filling & Henry Stoddard.
